Apex Legends’ next season, entitled “Revelry,” is available to download now. As we’ve previously reported, this season won’t offer a new Legend, but instead will be reworking the current roster to fit into a revamped series of 5 classes (Assault, Recon, Skirmisher, Controller, and Support) and sunsetting the not-terribly-popular Arenas mode in favor of Team Deathmatch. You can check out a gameplay trailer for Apex Legends Revelry, below.
